qtractor

Greetings,

Here's something which is not crucial, but would be handy. In the Clip/Tools/Transpose dialog box, I wish there were standard buttons for Octave+ and Octave- next to the interval spinner box. These would allow the user to quickly transpose up or down by an octave.

I usually compose string bass parts one octave higher than where they'll eventually be played, just so my tired old ears can hear the notes clearly and accurately. Once happy, I then drop everything down an octave to where the notes ought to be.

Hi @windowsrefund
I've seen this incident of yours on github, and I know what happened.

You opened the folder and/or file manager in Qtractor. This shifted the left margin.
You corrected it, you put the margin where you wanted.

When you closed the folders and/or files, it logically shifted back.

When you corrected it again, it was back in its correct position.

I've updated Compile Qtractor:
https://sourceforge.net/p/qtractor/wiki/How%20To%20-%201%20Compile%20Qt…
Motive:
libjack-dev and libjack-jackd2-dev were conflicting. I've removed libjack-dev after finding that Qtractor compiles without it.

Hello,

Before I forget, here's another anomaly I noticed recently. When using Qtractor 1.4.0 (installed from the PPA), if I try to access a color palette button, the entire program freezes (locks up).

Both the color palette buttons in the Track setup menu and in the View/Options/Display menu cause Qtractor to freeze when clicked.

On the other hand, they work properly in the AppImage for 1.4.0-6.1, and also in version 0.9.39 found in Linux Mint's Software Manager.

By the way, my op-system is Linux Mint Xfce 22.

Greetings,

Here's something that's driving me nuts. Two of my favorite MIDI instruments are old enough not to respond to "All Notes Off" and "All Sounds Off." These are the Casio CZ-1000 and CZ-101; I use them in most of my recordings.

Hello All,

I wonder if some kind person can help me understand these three warning messages? Here's the first which pops up when first starting Qtractor:

And here is the second which pops up when loading in a project which uses the ACE Fluidsynth plugin:

And the third:

I'm fairly new to Linux, and very new to music production with Qtractor, as you can probably tell. So, I'd like to understand what these messages are telling me.

Thank you!

Hello, I am trying for the first time to use qtractor. The system on my pc is linux mint 22. I can not affect a plugin on a midi track, while in the directory /usr/share/sounds/sf2 there is a file TimGM6mb.sf2... I do not understand. Thank you for your help

I like the "main window" or "sequencer window" look the way in the provided image.
I'm sure if I make the theme lighter something else, i could make the track text in mixer view more readable.
But I was wondering if there was a way to not make the fore/background color change apply in mixer track text.

I guess I understand for mixing purposes grouping via colors can help. So sorry if this is a stupid question.

Dexed plugin output in Qtractor is only coming out of the left channel.

I could use some kind of mono gain, but it'd be nicer if i could get true stereo output from Dexed for pads etc.

This is on Ubuntu Studio with latest version of Qtractor git.
Tho I had the exact same problem on my prior Arch installation.

So I guess the issue is with Dexed plugin?

Sorry if this is wrong forum to ask, just let me know and I'll delete the post myself.

I wanted to use Helm but Qtractor froze crashed when I tried to choose preset. (Although that was on Arch, I've recently switched back to Ubuntu Studio and haven't tried it again yet. And yes I uninstalled the old Ubuntu Studio 0.9.. Qtractor version and got the latest one from git)

Synthv1 seems like the most stable soft synth option for Qtractor.
